On May 12, 2025, our Forum Speaker Series welcomed U.S. Chamber of Commerce VP of Congressional and Public Affairs Chris Eyler to provide “An Insider’s View” from Washington, D.C. and break down how new federal policies are affecting business here in Oregon.
Eyler’s presentation included a look at Oregon’s representation at the federal level, an update on the current political landscape in the nation’s capital, efforts to support the continuation of the business-friendly Tax Cuts & Jobs Act, and how recently implemented tariffs are impacting small businesses, in particular.
Thank you to the Salem Convention Center for providing the venue and meal, and to Allied Video Productions and Capital Community Media for their help with producing this event.
We’d also like to thank Pac/West Lobby Group for serving as this month’s Forum Sponsor, and Hagan Hamilton Insurance Solutions for being our Presenting Sponsor for the entire 2024-2025 Forum Speaker Series season.
